The football kid is good but he is even better compared to his peers because he was held back. Fact. Happening in every sport "unfortunately". Is what it is. On YouTube there are dozens of "youth basketball" video clips of 15 yr old 8th grade boys who are a foot taller then their opponents and teammates jamming the ball from the foul line. On their way to Ketucky or Duke.
